Mixed Berry Brownies - Baking with Tray ep. 3

Hello!

This week on "Baking with Tray" we baked BROWNIES! I mean .... who doesn't like brownies?? Since I discovered this recipe, it has been my go-to brownie recipe. I love it because it's super simple, just one bowl, one spoon and you can customise the toppings. I used frozen mixed berries (fresh would do fine!) and some walnuts. The berries give a nice tang to the sweet chocolatey brownies and the walnuts give a crunchy texture.

These brownies have it all: crispy top and edges, chewy sides and fudgey centres! So hope you guys try it out :D

Mixed Berry Brownies
Recipe adapted from Sweetest Menu

Ingredients
115g unsalted butter
200g dark chocolate melts
100g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
90g (1/2 cup) brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
70g (1/2 cup) plain flour
20g (1/4 cup) cocoa powder
75g (1/2 cup) milk chocolate chips
125g mixed berries
50g walnuts (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 180oC or 160oC fan forced. Grease and line a 20cm square baking tin.
2. Place butter and dark chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave until melted (do this in 30 second rounds, stirring after each round. Mine took about 1 minute total). Allow to cool slightly.
3. Add in sugars and vanilla and mix until incorporated.
4. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. (You don't want your bowl to be too hot otherwise the eggs will scramble!)
5. Add in the flour and cocoa powder and mix until incorporated.
6. Add in milk chocolate chips and stir well. (You can also choose to add some berries and walnuts at this stage too.) Pour mix into lined baking tin using a spatula to scrape the bowl to get everything out.
7. Place berries and walnuts on top. Gently press down.
8. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until cooked through. You can tell by the crack on the edges and the brownie no longer wobbles. Leave to cool completely before cutting. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
